What is wrong
THE QUICK RELEASE AIR VALVE MAY CONTAIN A VALVE DISC THAT BALLOONS WHEN THE PARKING BRAKES ARE APPLIED AND PREVENT THE PARKING BRAKES FROM SETTING. CONSEQUENCE OF DEFECT: ALTHOUGH THE PARKING BRAKE IS APPLIED, THE PARKING BRAKES MAY NOT BE SET. THIS COULD ALLOW AN UNATTENDED VEHICLE TO ROLL AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
REPLACE THE VALVE DISC IN THE QUICK RELEASE AIR VALVE.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
